Dell Vostro won't pick up any of my elements drives

Hi there
Please assist
My Dell Vostro suddenly won;t read all three of my WD Elements External Drives. They are fine and the drives are spinning, etc.
I can see my USB port settings show the drives there but my windows Explorer and docs do not pick them up at all.
I have tried both USB ports and also have restarted 20 times.
Please help!
Thanks,
KIrsten
